- It occurs shortly after a young person enters the real world (tick, I have been working for 3 years now).
- A person begins to feel doubtful about their own lives, brought on by the stress of becoming an adult (tick, constant doubts about life path).
- Common symptoms of a quarter life crisis are often feelings of being "lost, scared, lonely or confused".
- Unemployment and choosing a career path is a major cause for young persons to undergo stress or anxiety (tick, been considering life selling coconuts on the beach in Indonesia)
- Learning to cope without parental help (tick, although "cope without" is a loose term)

also referred to as quarter/mid life opportunity rather than crisis
